My Creative Time's February Stamp release BLOG HOP!!

Hello friends!! Today is the February stamp release blog hop at My Creative Time and I have two fun project to share with you today. First up is a basket shaped card with some super cute eggs inside that are cut with the die that comes in the new Hello Spring stamp set.

The basket is cut with the Cricut and the My Community cartridge at 4.75 inches. I used my Gypsy to weld the card base together. The eggs are stamped with the fun decorating stamps that come with the set. I added some ink to the edges of the eggs along with a little bit of white pen detail to add shine to the eggs. I tied some ribbon around the handle of the basket and added some twine from The Twinery and a button then I finished off the card with this fun "Hello Spring" sentiment. Did you know that with the clear acrylic stamps you can bend and curve a sentiment?? So much fun!!

Here is the second project I have to share with you today. I used the Cricut and Sesame Street Elmo's Party cartridge to cut this fun little box. I used Cricut Craft Room to make an oval inside the handle instead of the Elmo silhouette.

The flowers are just little circles I punched and then added some cuts with scissors for petals. I also used the cream Liquid Pearl Pen from Viva for the centers. So, what do you think??
